Question: AM= 25.0 kg block is connected to an empty m = 3.00 kg bucket by a cord running over a frictionless pulley as shown

  AM= 25.0 kg block is connected to an empty m = 3.00 

AM= 25.0 kg block is connected to an empty m = 3.00 kg bucket by a cord running over a frictionless pulley as shown in the figure. The coefficient of static friction between the table and the block is 0.47 and the coefficient of kinetic friction between the table and the block is 0.30. Sand is gradually added to the bucket until the system just begins to move. Calculate the acceleration of the system. ( Your result must be in m/s? and include two digit after the decimal point. Maximum of 4% of error is accepted in your answer. Take g-9.80 m/s?.)
